How recent is this? The reviews seem to be really good, 75% recommend as of now: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1371980/No_Rest_for_the_Wicked/

But more importantly, it's early access. Wouldn't you expect some healthy criticism in the reviews for an unfinished product? I'd even say 75% is exceptionally good for an EA game.

Or, has the plea for positive reviews already worked? In that case, that would be even closer to review bombing, because you earned those positive reviews by mass appealing to guilt/pity...

I hate calling. I also hate when someone calls me with important info. Bro just give me a well written overview, with ordered lists and shit, so I have a single source of truth to have as reference later, and can serve as a basis for our future discussions.

You know what would gather even more interest? Games not running like shit on native resolution.

Giving currency for free: giving people real money isn't something any dev wants to deal with, so giving in game currency allows this to happen. This also applies to games where you can convert free currency to premium currency.

But this is how gift codes work, no? You're not giving money away directly. Just give a voucher for a real currency if you want to gift users.

Hmmm... Or, or, hear me out: what about you're some guy in some mysterious place, but here comes the best part: this time you have amnesia and you must shoot guns at monsters to uncover the truth?

Hell yeah! I really recommend this game, if a surreal horror roguelike FPS with procedurally generated dungeons sounds interesting. There are some really interesting mechanics there, like being able to eat your weapons to gain an effect. In fact, you can eat everything you can hold. In a pickle? Eat your map and hope for some healing. Or you might catch on fire.

Wow, it is... Look at the staff being held at the left by two monsters, one in the background and the other in the foreground.

Literally why?? It's so obvious slop too. Shame.

They should apologize for their insensitivity

90% of people can still be wrong.

Depends on the game. If it's not really demanding on reaction time, and the game is locked framerate I'm fine with 30, like Okami. However if the game is not locked FPS and I still can't hit 60 FPS at least on my 1440p monitor I'd probably just play something else (because I know I could have better experience is I could run it).

However for shooter and reaction heavy games I always aim to max out my 144 Hz monitor, even 60 FPS can feel sluggish for me

Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was one of the defining games of my childhood. It was the first decent platformer I played on PC, I love the theme. And the OST is a banger.

Bring back Jazz Jackrabbit! I wonder how it would do today as a more hardcore metroidvania platformer...

GTA V Online already are those in a way, no? I can't blame them for leaning into it. I'm not interested anyway.

I am Hungarian, but everything I use is in English. As a software developer it's basically the language of my work and I started consuming media in English at a young age.

only? 30-40 hours is still pretty damn long ...

Never thought about it... I'd say no. But I'd like my friends and family to be proud of me (as well as myself)

Because most of the users don't know how to turn that shit off in AAA games. It's often just defaults to being on, no?

Also I thought DLSS is supposed to help with underspecced PC-s to help run modern games. So this is a self burn in a way, either RTX cards are not as performant as hoped, or the AAA games sector is just fucked, as they cannot for the life of them pump out an optimized game.

Because it is a source of addiction imho

Lemmy is my primary I lurk nowadays, I only visit reddit through google sometimes. I also use Discord with most of my friend groups, I need to use Facebook Messenger occasionally because of some friends and family. For entertainment, Youtube and Twitch only (I do have premium for yt though... I know it's not nice)

Perfect timing, as Cassette Beasts is in this month's Humble Choice as well!
